Do you struggle to get quality sleep on a consistent basis?
I brought sleep expert Morgan Adams on the podcast to explain why women in midlife so often suffer from poor sleep. Anyone who has ever laid awake at night trying to will themselves to sleep knows how frustrating it is, but is there a simple solution?
In this episode, Morgan is sharing some quick and simple tips for getting more sleep and, more importantly, improving your sleep quality. She’s also explaining the causes of poor sleep so that you can understand what’s happening in your mind and body and hopefully get some answers about your health.
Morgan Adams is a holistic sleep coach for women who struggle with getting a good night’s sleep consistently. Her goal is to help women feel better and live better, and the key to both begins with a good night’s sleep. Morgan is a former insomniac who spent almost a decade using prescription sleeping pills despite knowing that her overall sleep quality suffered. She’s also a two-time breast cancer survivor who advocates for a lifestyle of disease prevention and integrating holistic strategies for cancer treatment.
